Made a mod that automatically places LandMine ghosts in up to 10 rows along the outer perimeter of the Roboports' coverage area.

Typical use case scenario: you're expanding, looking for new ore patches, placing your roboports city blocks towards recently uncontrolled areas, freshly cleared from biters and wanna secure the new, just established perimeter.

If you, like me, think that the Landmines + drones placing them is the way – then this mod automates that, making the whole expansion & securing perimeter thing less tedious.

Tested in 2.0+ vanilla version, default game mode on a network of 1000+ roboports.

How to use: click mod's button, pick number of rows & options (replace trees, cliffs, rocks, water, avoid worms), select area & get your landmine ghosts placed.

Also includes "mines cleanup" mode which helps clean the old outer perimeter that now, after expansion, became inner perimeter, from mines.
